CD Audio I have it ★★★

Miracle: the album isn't bad. Weakened by an illness that forced him into a long hiatus, he returns with a sorrowful, definitely autobiographical record. Nothing exceptional, but it's his best since 1993. Miracolo:

No, it doesn't suck and "Manifesto futurista della nuova umanità" is, in my opinion, one of his best tracks ever.

Vasco Rossi: Gli spari sopra

1 oct 14:03

The "new" Vasco is a bundle of fury and anger, but he channels it in a confused way. The album, one of the artist's most famous best-sellers, is too long and inconsistent. "Stupendo" is a generational manifesto that leaves its mark; "Vivere" is the track that moves, and surprises, the fans. But there is also a lot—too much—of unnecessary clutter and here and there there’s a bit of self-pity. The mountain has labored and brought forth a mouse.

This is still one of his best pour moi. And even if it might sound heretical to you, I prefer it to "Liberi liberi." Vivere, Stupendo, Lo show, Non appari mai, L'uomo che hai di fronte, Delusa, Ci credi, Gli spari sopra—all great tracks.

Vasco Rossi: Nessun pericolo... per te

16 jul

Now resigned (or satisfied?) to the joys of home life, he loses his anger, inventiveness, and anarchy (but, truth be told, he had already lost them some time ago). He calls Polanski (parbleu) and has him direct the video for "Gli angeli," but his aura does not cross Italian borders. "Sally" is a masterpiece; what revolves around it is (much) less.

It’s not one of his best, but it includes Sally, Gli angeli, Un gran bel film, and Mi si escludeva. Maybe I’m easy to please, but I also find the title track irresistible.

A great film and Mi si escludeva are, in my opinion, embarrassing for someone who did what he did in the '80s.

Eh, but I warned you that I’m not picky when it comes to food...

Vasco Rossi: Buoni o cattivi

16 jul

It's a sales record: Vasco seems to be totally in sync with his (inexhaustible) audience. But the album is one of the worst in his discography: as monotonous as a flatlining EEG, needlessly frivolous (and stupid) at many points, exhausting in its obsessive quest for any kind of chorus ("Un senso"). It dominates radio and TV, commercials and billboards. But it (seems) to have nothing left to say. vendite: discografia:

Here it really starts to suck almost tout court, with a few rare exceptions.

Vasco Rossi: Canzoni per me

22 jul

Vasco, having shed the guise of the anarchic rocker from the mid-'80s, is (by now) a serene gentleman, satisfied and "intoxicated" by his newfound family happiness. His songs reflect this, sometimes predictable ("Io no"), sometimes "paracule" ("Quanti anni hai"). The delicate "Laura" is spared, but there’s little substance otherwise.

Here, in fact, it really starts to fall apart, but I would save "L'una per te", "La favola antica" and "Il mattino" rather than "Laura".

Vasco Rossi: Il Supervissuto

16 jul

A compilation of already well-known tracks plus an unreleased song ("Gli sbagli che fai") of very light (to say the least) craftsmanship. He stars in a TV series, "Il supervissuto," which tells the story of his feats and legends. Despite everything, he’s still going full throttle.

Vinicio Capossela: Canzoni a manovella

5 aug

In all likelihood, Capossela's best album, a sort of summa of his work over the past ten years (1990-2000). The first part is more accessible, while the second is more challenging, yet fascinating.
